Looks a lot like my shop. Main difference is my parts are mostly used.

I'd love to walk in there and buy period parts at period prices.

It was most likely delivered by railway express!

The unframed picture in the left foreground appears to be a painting of men in a canoe. Another item looks like a grocer's scale. Maybe that's a general store just after a delivery of new stock. The overhead lighting is pretty fancy for a dedicated store room.

This defines the aera and leaves "what's in the boxes" to our imaginations.
Wonderful to see.
Thanks

I noticed the scales too. Not too many T parts I can recall are sold by weight. I think they may have sold other stuff as well.

Maybe that's a freight office on a very busy day. There appear to be several wheeled platforms with pipe railings loaded with stuff. There's an item that looks like a canvas bin that might be for smaller items. Maybe the train just unloaded, or is just about to arrive to be loaded.

There's a place in Baldwinville MA that has a back room and basement that looks a lot like that picture...... could it be time travel?

Could it be a shipment of parts and etc that hasn’t been stocked or put up yet? But maybe that’s the way this store operated.
